You are legally allowed to run your own cable as long as it’s off the splitter that is on the house. You can’t run a line off the pole and then underground. As long as you have enough signal strength you can can run cable out to the garage. I would recommend using some type of waterproof sheathing and try and run it as close to the main splitter as possible to have the best signal. ---
